POST /v2/upload-cover/generate

Upload your own audio file and generate an AI cover version with a new style, lyrics, and vocal settings — while retaining the original melody. Supports both custom mode (full control over lyrics, style, title) and non-custom mode (simple prompt-based generation). Audio file must not exceed 8 minutes in length.

tips

Two Generation Modes:

  • Non-Custom Mode (Recommended for beginners): Set custom_mode to false. Only upload_url and prompt are required. Lyrics will be auto-generated based on the prompt (max 500 chars).
  • Custom Mode: Set custom_mode to true. You must provide upload_url, prompt (used as exact lyrics), style, and title. If make_instrumental is true, prompt can be omitted.

Character Limits (vary by model):

  • chirp-v4-0: prompt (3000), style (200), title (80)
  • chirp-v4-5 / chirp-v4-5-plus: prompt (5000), style (1000), title (100)
  • chirp-v4-5-all: prompt (5000), style (1000), title (80)
  • chirp-v5: prompt (5000), style (1000), title (100)

Model Credits: chirp-v4-0 = 8 credits, chirp-v4-5 / chirp-v4-5-plus / chirp-v4-5-all = 10 credits, chirp-v5 = 12 credits.

Developer Notes:

  • Generated files will be deleted after 15 days.
  • The uploaded audio must not exceed 8 minutes. For chirp-v4-5-all, the limit is 1 minute.
  • Use the Status API to poll for task completion (every 5–10 seconds).
  • You may also configure a callback_url to receive results via webhook.
